FileMaker SIG Meeting:
October 16, 2008 10:00 -12:00
The next meeting of the FileMaker Special Interest Group will be Saturday, October 16, 2008 from 10:00 am - Noon in the Austin Michael Suite located at 2772 NW 43rd Street, Suite B in the Meridian Center. Need Directions?’
Agenda
Bento 2.0 has been released. Bill Rose will give us an overview.
Following Bill we will have an extended question and answer session with light refreshments.
This Saturday will be our last meeting.
It's been a year since we launched the FileMaker Special Interest Group. Our plan was to spend that time exploring the basics and to touch on a few advanced topics. I think we've accomplished what we set out to do and would like to thank everyone who has participated and contributed to the success of the group.
The FileMaker SIG has been sponsored by the Gainesville Macintosh Users Group. I would encourage everyone to attend their regular meetings on the 2nd Thursday of every month for ongoing presentations on database and other computer topics.
